"Go ahead." Zhu Di saw him sitting on the futon without moving and could not help but feel a little angry.
Yao Guangxiao closed his eyes and slowly fiddled with the Buddha beads in his hand."The emperor didn't come to me just to lecture his son and compensate him.”
Zhu Di stared at Yao Guangxiao for a long time and sighed,""Dao Yan, I've been busy my entire life, but I still can't hide my actions from you.”
Although he and Yao Guangxiao had the difference between monarch and minister, there was also the friendship of hardship.
"Emperor, do you want to ask about the twelve zodiac signs that This Penniless Monk deduced, or about the fate of King Nan?”Yao Guangxiao slowly opened his eyes.
"This time, I came to ask about these two things. Let's talk about the twelve zodiac palaces first.”Zhu Di said.
The so-called Twelve Zodiac Zodiacs were specially ordered by Zhu Di to use physiognomy to deduce the fate of the Ming Dynasty when he ascended the throne.
It had already been more than ten years, and the deduction of the fate of the Great Ming Country was basically completed.
Yao Guangxiao was both a monk and a physiognomist.
Back when Zhu Di was in his prime, he could tell at a glance that he had the looks of an emperor.
Following that, Jianwen ascended the throne to cut off the vassals, and Yao Guangxiao let Zhu Di launch the Battle of Jingnan, successfully overthrowing the previous dynasty and ascending the throne.
"Forgive this poor monk for not being able to tell the emperor yet.”Yao Guangxiao pressed his palms together.
"Dao Yan, what do you mean?”Zhu Di was displeased.
"Now is not the time. However, this poor monk can only tell the emperor that there have been three great changes in the Ming Dynasty in the past hundred years.”Yao Guang is filial.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Zhu Di said anxiously.
Regarding the future fate of Great Ming, even if it was just a few words, he was eager to know.
"The year of Xin Chou changed, and the dragon flew in the sky!”
"Gengyin year changes, dragon battles in the wild, blood red, black yellow!”
"Another change occurred in the year of Jiawu.”
"In the year of Xin Chou, the Crown Prince suddenly died and the country was overturned by His Majesty.”Yao Guangxiao only described one of the changes in detail. He didn't mention the other two.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Prince Zhu Biao died suddenly.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu, wept bitterly and ordered people to revise the edict and establish Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of Emperor Taizu, as the crown prince of Ming Dynasty.
In the 31st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yunwen became the emperor and changed the year title to Jianwen!
During Zhu Yunwen's reign, he adopted the policy of reducing the vassal states of his trusted ministers Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, and suppressed the vassal kings everywhere. The kings were successively demoted to commoners.
At this time, Zhu Di listened to Yao Guangxiao's opinion and used the emperor's instructions to clear the side of the emperor to launch Jingnan. In the end, he took over the Ming Dynasty from his nephew Zhu Yunwen.
The first change, the great change in the year of Xin Chou, was the Battle of Jingnan!
Although there was a year for the remaining two changes, Yao Guangxiao did not reveal the exact time. After Zhu Di heard it, he looked worried.
"Dao Yan, you really have to change your habit of only speaking halfway. Since you've already said it, why don't you say it all?”Zhu Di said patiently.
Yao Guangxiao shook his head and closed his eyes again. He began to recite the scriptures in a low voice.
"Since you don't want to tell me, then tell me about King Nan's fate!”Seeing that he couldn't get the other two changes, Zhu Di could only change the topic to Zhu Gaochen, wanting to know his fate.
"The Southern King is blessed by the heavens. His fate is in his own hands.”Yao Guang is filial.
"You bald donkeys talk like farts.”
Zhu Di pursed his lips. He had been rejected by Yao Guangxiao. In the end, he stood up helplessly from the futon and left with a stomach full of anger.
On the other side.
At night, in the forest on the left side of Jichao Temple.
In order to avoid getting beaten up, Zhu Gaochen could only hide here. Before coming out, he did not forget to grab a chicken to barbecue to fill his stomach.
In front of the bonfire.
Zhu Gaochen was grilling the roast chicken as he lamented the lack of good wine.
Because Zhu Di had come to Jiming Temple, the patrols around them had been strengthened. Fan Zhong and the others did not dare to come and freeload.
"You brought him here?"
A dignified voice sounded from the darkness not far away.
Then, Zhu Di walked out of the darkness.
"Father!"
Zhu Gaochen suddenly stood up and subconsciously stepped back. He smiled embarrassedly and said,""Let's talk things out properly. Don't touch me.”
"Don't worry, there are no outsiders here. I won't hit you.”Zhu Di walked over to Zhu Gaochen and sat down calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochen's anxious heart finally relaxed.
Especially when Zhu Di changed 'zhen' to 'me', it could be seen that his anger had subsided.
There were no outsiders around. The father and son sat around the bonfire and chatted.
"Do you know why I punished you to Chicken Crow Temple?”At this moment, Zhu Di's tone was very calm, and the dignity on his body had been completely restrained. He was no different from an ordinary old man.
Zhu Gaochen was well aware of this, but in order to give face to the old man, he could only shake his head to show that he did not know.
"The matter of Jingnan's orphan is very tricky. You have offended the King of Han, and he has a very high prestige in the army. In addition, the King of Zhao is on his side, so your situation is not as dangerous as the Crown Prince's.”
"If I'm still here, I can still suppress Second and Third. What if one day, I'm no longer here?”
In front of the bonfire, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochen with a complicated expression. There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
Zhu Gaochen remained silent.
The old man looked very willful on the surface, but he was very thorough.
"Brat, you are talented and intelligent. There are some things that you should understand even if I don't say it. I am old and don't have many years left to live.”
"But before I set off, you guys were my worry. The Crown Prince is kind, but his personality is too indecisive. Although he has Yang Shiqi and Yangpu, who are subordinates of the Crown Prince's Residence, to assist him, they are still scholars!”
"Second and Third, there's no need to mention them. It's no longer a shameful thing for them to be unconvinced of the Crown Prince.”
"If one day, when the heavens die and the second and third brothers rebel, I won't have the face to meet my ancestors even if I go underground!”
Zhu Di lowered his head and sighed from time to time as he spoke.
"So father, what do you mean?"
Zhu Gaochen narrowed his eyes and hesitated for a moment before continuing,""You want me to stand on the Crown Prince's side?”
Zhu Di neither nodded nor shook his head.
The two of them looked at each other and the atmosphere fell silent.
In the end, Zhu Gaochen's gaze shifted. He picked up the bamboo stick beside him and threw a black object from the fire.
"What is this?" Zhu Di saw him throw out a black thing and asked in confusion.
Zhu Gaochen grinned and did not rush to answer. Instead, he used the bamboo stick to hit the black object.
Pa pa---
It turned out that the black object instantly cracked.
Only then did Zhu Di see clearly that the black thing was dried mud. However, the surface was covered in black ash, so he could not see it clearly.
The mud cracked open, and a layer of lotus leaves was wrapped inside.
For a moment, a faint scent of lotus fragrance wafted out, mixed with a trace of meat fragrance.
Zhu Gaochen peeled off the mud on the surface and carefully opened the lotus leaf inside.
A well-cooked golden roast chicken with a fragrant aroma appeared in front of Zhu Di.
"This is called beggar's chicken. Dad, try it.”Zhu Gaochen broke off a drumstick and handed it to Zhu Di with a smile.
"I'm the emperor after all, how can I eat this kind of thing? I won't eat it, I won't eat it.”Zhu Di rejected with a wave of his hand.
The main reason was that the name of the food was too unlucky. Wasn't Beggar's Chicken meant for beggars?
"Are you really not eating?" Zhu Gaochen probed.
"No, even if I die, I won't eat it!”Zhu Di was determined.
"Fine, fine, fine. If you don't want to eat, I'll eat.”Zhu Gaochen didn't stand on ceremony with him. He stuffed the drumstick into his mouth and ate it in front of Zhu Di.
Zhu Di licked his lips subconsciously as he watched Zhu Gaochen enjoy his meal.
Although the name was unlucky, the fragrance was alluring.
In the end, Zhu Di's old face turned red as he pulled out the other drumstick.
He carefully took a bite, and then his body trembled as if he had been electrocuted.
Ever since he became the emperor, he had eaten countless delicacies. However, today's Beggar's Chicken had a different flavor. It had a rich fragrance and the meat was crisp and tender.
Seeing Zhu Di's dazed expression, Zhu Gaochen smiled and asked,""Father, how does it taste?"
Zhu Di coughed a few times and said with a red face,"Really…It smells so good!"
Zhu Gaochen mocked in his heart. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to. It seemed that even the Emperor couldn't escape the law of true fragrance.
